These are the steps to update the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 LTE to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with the firmware build number P905VVRUBOH1. If you don’t want to accept over the air updates automatically, you can always download and install the large software update using the Odin flashing tool and a computer. Another reason you might not want to install the update over the air is because you have root access. Samsung rooted users are always encouraged to install software updates manually if they have root access. Doing so will revoke the current root access, though. You’ll need to get root access again by either following the same guide as last time or finding a new guide. Sometimes Google patches the exploits on the earlier firmware builds which makes the old rooting guides obsolete.

  • Download one of the latest versions of the Odin flashing tool from this page.
  • Download the Samsung USB Drivers.
  • You must flash the P905VVRUBOH1 Lollipop firmware build on the Verizon variant of the Note Pro only. Do not flash this file on a different device or you can brick the device.
